We study a nonlocal Neumann problem driven by a nonhomogeneous elliptic differential operator. The reaction term is a nonlinearity function that exhibits p-superlinear growth but need not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. By using an abstract linking theorem for smooth functionals, we prove a multiplicity result on the existence of weak solutions for such problems. An explicit example illustrates the main abstract result of this paper.

AbstractWe prove an equivalence between weighted Poincaré inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a Neumann problem related to a degenerate p-Laplacian. The Poincaré inequalities are formulated in the context of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined in terms of a quadratic form, and the associated matrix is the source of the degeneracy in the p-Laplacian.

LetAbe a determined or overdetermined elliptic differential operator on a smooth compact manifoldX. Write𝒮A(𝒟)for the space of solutions of the systemAu=0in a domain𝒟⋐X. Using reproducing kernels related to various Hilbert structures on subspaces of𝒮A(𝒟), we show explicit identifications of the dual spaces. To prove the regularity of reproducing kernels up to the boundary of𝒟, we specify them as resolution operators of abstract Neumann problems. The matter thus reduces to a regularity theorem for the Neumann problem, a well-known example being the∂¯-Neumann problem. The duality itself takes place only for those domains𝒟which possess certain convexity properties with respect toA.

In this note we obtain a multiplicity result for an eigenvalue Neumann problem. Precisely, a recent critical point result for differentiable functionals is exploited, in order to prove the existence of a determined open interval of positive eigenvalues for which the problem admits at least three non-zero weak solutions.

Abstract By using variational methods and critical point theory in an appropriate Orlicz-Sobolev setting, the authors establish the existence of infinitely many non-negative weak solutions to a non-homogeneous Neumann problem. They also provide some particular cases and an example to illustrate the main results in this paper.

We study the existence of weak solutions to the following Neumann problem involving thep(x)-Laplacian operator:  -Δp(x)u+e(x)|u|p(x)-2u=λa(x)f(u),in  Ω,∂u/∂ν=0,on  ∂Ω. Under some appropriate conditions on the functionsp,  e,  a, and  f, we prove that there existsλ¯>0such that anyλ∈(0,λ¯)is an eigenvalue of the above problem. Our analysis mainly relies on variational arguments based on Ekeland’s variational principle.

Abstract This paper deals with a homogeneous Neumann problem of a nonlinear diffusion system involving variable exponents dependent on spatial and time variables and cross-diffusion terms. We prove the existence of weak solutions using Galerkin’s approximation and we derive suitable energy estimates. To this end, we establish the needed Poincaré type inequality for variable exponents related to the Neumann boundary problem. Furthermore, we show that the investigated problem possesses a unique weak solution and satisfies a stability estimate, provided some additional assumptions are fulfilled. In addition, we show under which conditions the solution is nonnegative.
